Different
This four-week series examines ways Christians are different from the world around them. Jesus was different from those around him in what he did, who he valued, what he was convicted about, and how he used his resources. To be different has less to do with “the church versus the world” and more to do with the “church in the world” showing love, giving to the needy, and reflecting a different way of living a more flourishing and God-honoring life.
Using This Series Guide
The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.
Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.
This series includes 4 weeks of content.
The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.
It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.
We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.
Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
